1967 Shelby GT350/500 / turn signals not working
July 01, 2018, 03:12:38 PM
Hi
4 way flasher works all lights function, installed new turn signal switch in steering column 1 year ago but since then they stopped, is there a flasher somewhere? Other ideas?
Thank  you

Hi, OK some good ideas thank you, put meter to battery only 12V, so switched out regulator and it didn't help, 1 wire on back alternator frayed but fixed that and still 12V, so removed alternator and shop told me it was tired, had it re built
Thank you for help

gear vendor has sensor in it like speedo, taken off Tranny to register speed and turn off under 40 MPH, also little computer and power unit with switch somewhat hidden under dash..... I have a real Shelby so Speedo is 140 MPH then, I forget more often these days, so if needle went around to 5 mph then I was going far too fast, even if for a few seconds, ...

Hello

I have a GT 500 with built 427 side oiler stroked to a 488, dyno 592 HP and 609 torque, 389 Detroit locker, installed a Gear vendor, reasonable easy, no mods or cutting, remove tail shaft from 4 spd bolt it on, some wiring, push in clutch hit a button anytime over 40 mph and she goes into over drive. I think from 389 to 260, not that expensive either. Automatically releases under 40 MHP. No issues with handling the torque or HP

Totally changed the car, I love it still has right revs with 389 in 1 st and 2 nd but wow!! on the highway it is fantastic, way lower revs and noise and now instead of the truck lane I shift from 4 th into OD and head straight for the passing lane. I think my speedo only goes to 125 mph and did you know if you keep going needle will come around and start back at 5 mph again, never knew myself. I had so much fun the first ride all I did was go between HWY exits and accelerate the on ramps up into OD, probably 10 times it was exhilarating!! I simply Love it a whole new car

It works seamlessly, feels totally comfortable and wish I had done it 30 years ago when I bought the car. So now I can bang the gears and get great acceleration head out on the highway and pretty well pass anybody, No pictures handy.
